Today is the first day back for teachers, and I will not be there! Being a SAHM hasn't felt real yet, it's just been the usual summer break. But last night felt weird knowing that I "should" be running around the house frantically getting ready to go back to school. It's so nice! I think we are going to celebrate by vegging... staying in our jammies for a long time and watching movies. We had a really busy weekend, so it will be a nice change of pace. Oh, my mom and I worked together (she's the librarian), so I even get to keep up on all the gossip w/out having to deal w/ all the work stuff!

Yeah!! :)

Yeah Jamie! I was a teacher before SAHM and it has been great! My DS went to school for his first day of 1st grade today and the twins go to preschool in a couple of weeks. It's great to be able to have some breathing room in your daily schedule. I'm busy but not a frazzled mess like I was when I was trying to raise my 3 kids plus 20 school kids.

I know it is weird - I was a teacher too- and this is my second year not working, and it is wonderful. And I keep forgetting that everyone else has to go back to school. LOL.
Enjoy.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying a slower life now. I was an elementary music teacher so I had 500 students! I could remember all of their names, yet I am constantly calling my three boys by each other's names :).

I heard that my principal told one of the teachers today "Yeah, she quit. I guess three boys was just too much for her." Yeah, that was the reason. The jerk (I always had trouble w/ him) knew from the start I wanted to SAH, we are just now able for me to do it. Oh well, don't have to deal w/ him anymore!!

I feel the same way!! I started teaching straight out of college so this is the first year since I started school at age 5 that I haven't gone "back to school". It was strange but in an amzing beautiful way to be home with Liliana today. I must agree though that it was GREAT not to have to worry about lesson plans or getting my classroom together. :-)
